Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cross-wound producing textile machine with a plurality of jobs and a method for operating the cheese producing textile machine, each work at least one winding device with a freely rotatably mounted in a creel cheese and an empty tube magazine and a movable along the work stations traveling aggregate for receiving an empty tube from an empty tube magazine and for inserting the empty tube is formed in a coil frame.
  • Textile machines producing cross-wound bobbins can be both spinning and winding machines.
  • Spinning machines producing cross-wound bobbins produce a yarn from a sliver, which yarn is wound on a cross-wound bobbin by a work-station winding device.
  • Spooling machines that produce cross-wound bobbins wrap yarn from a supply spool onto a cross-wound bobbin.
  • Template bobbins can be, for example, spinning cops, which are the product of a ring spinning machine.
  • the DE 195 21 372 A1 discloses a winding apparatus having an output device which travels on a winding device with a number of winding units arranged therein, and storage means which store yarn winding sleeves and are used by the output device during the dispensing, the storage means being provided on each winding unit.
  • the dispenser removes a finished yarn package from the winding unit and inserts a new sleeve.
  • the output unit of the DE 195 21 372 A1 has a sensor that detects the third sleeve in the storage box and causes a supply of a sleeve in the absence of the third sleeve. If a winding unit with a full bobbin requests the output device, this first checks with another sensor, if any empty tube is present in the storage box. When the absence of a sleeve is detected, the dispensing process is interrupted and the dispenser moves to another reeling unit that needs the dispensing. The winding unit with the empty storage box, however, stands still. This reduces the productivity of the textile machine and is therefore undesirable. The likelihood that a storage box contains no empty tubes and thus causes a standstill of the associated winding unit increases, if you want to do without the complex feed and filling the storage boxes done by the operator.
  • the walking unit initiates the inclusion of an empty tube from the empty tube magazine a job after it has used an existing in the traveling aggregate empty tube in the creel of this job.
  • an empty tube is already present in the traveling aggregate when a job reports a finished cross-wound bobbin.
  • the cheese can be replaced immediately with an empty tube.
  • the empty tube is inserted into the creel of the work
  • the walking aggregate takes an empty tube from the empty tube magazine of this work. If no empty tube is present in the magazine, this does not automatically lead to a standstill of a job, because the recording of the empty tube regardless of whether a cheese / empty tube change is requested from a job is initiated.
  • the traveling aggregate moves, if no empty tube is present in the empty tube magazine of the workplace, to another job and initiates the recording of an empty tube from the empty tube magazine of another job.
  • This measure does not lead to an extension of the production times, as it, as already mentioned, is initiated before a cheese / empty tube change is pending.
  • the process continues until the traveling aggregate detects an empty tube. That is, even if the empty tube magazine of the second job is empty, the traveling aggregate moves to a third job. Due to the large number of sleeve magazines, it basically can not happen that the traveling aggregate can not hold an empty tube. So there is always an empty tube for a cheese / empty tube change available. It can thus standstill jobs occur because a finished cross-wound bobbin can not be replaced. There is sufficient time to refill the empty tube magazines.
  • the inventive method is thus suitable in particular for the filling of the magazines by operating personnel.
  • the initiation of receiving an empty tube from the empty tube magazine of the workplace is performed independently of the resumption of the winding process of this job.
  • the laying of a foot reserve or the pressing of the creel with the sleeve on a drive drum can be done simultaneously with the inclusion of a new sleeve for the traveling aggregate. This shortens compared to the prior art, the time required for a cheese / Leerhülsentransport. Thus, the productivity of the cheese-producing textile machine can be further increased.
  • a cheese-producing textile machine is further proposed with a control device for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • the control device is adapted to initiate the recording of an empty tube from the empty tube magazine by the traveling aggregate after the traveling aggregate has inserted an existing in the traveling aggregate empty tube in the creel of this job.
  • the traveling aggregate on means to detect the presence of an empty tube in a sleeve magazine and the control device is designed, when in the empty tube magazine of a job no empty tube is present to position the traveling aggregate at another job for receiving an empty tube.
  • optical sensors As means for detecting the presence of an empty tube in the sleeve magazine, known optical sensors can be used. When the recording of an empty tube from the magazine is initiated, the signal of the sensor is first interrogated.
  • the traveling aggregate has a gripping device for receiving an empty tube, and the gripping device is equipped with a sensor which is designed to detect the gripping of an empty tube.
  • the gripping device performs a gripping movement, regardless of whether an empty tube is present in the magazine or not.
  • the empty tube limits the merging of the gripper fingers of the gripping device.
  • the position can be detected, for example, by means of Hall sensors.
  • the invention will be explained below with reference to a package winder with a plurality of winding units. However, the invention can also be applied to textile machines producing other cross-wound bobbins.
  • Fig. 1 is shown in front view schematically a marked with the reference number 1 cross-winding machine.
  • Such cross-winding machines usually have between their end frames 35, 36 a plurality of similar jobs, preferably winding units 2, on.
  • the spinning cops 9 produced on a ring spinning machine (not shown) are rewound to large-volume cheeses 11 on these winding stations 2.
  • the finished cross-wound bobbins 11 are referred to by means of an automatically operating walking aggregate 23, hereinafter referred to as cross-bobbin changer, on a textile machine own cross bobbin transport device 21, as in Fig. 2 shown, transferred and then transported to a machine end side (not shown) Spulenverladestation or the like.
  • Such spooling machines 1 generally have a logistics device in the form of a spool and sleeve transport system 3.
  • a logistics device in the form of a spool and sleeve transport system 3.
  • this bobbin and tube transport system 3 run on transport plates 8, spinning cops 9 and empty Spinnkopshülsen 34.
  • such automatic packages 1 have a bobbin and tube transport system 3, of which in Fig. 2 only the machine-length Spinnkopszu slaughterhouse 4, which runs behind the winding units 2, reversibly driven storage section 5, one of the leading to the winding units 2 transverse transport sections 6 and the empty tube return path 7 is shown.
  • the spinnerets 9, which have relatively little yarn volume, are rewound into bulky packages 11 in the unwinding positions 10, which are located in the region of the transverse transport sections 6.
  • the individual winding units 2 have, as is known and therefore only indicated, various devices that ensure the proper operation of such jobs.
  • the Fig. 2 shows a side view of such a winding unit 2, on which a cheese changer 23 is positioned.
  • a spool own suction nozzle 12 In the FIG. 2 is the running from Spinnkops 9 to the cheese 11 with the reference numeral 30, a spool own suction nozzle 12, a gripper tube 42, a splicer 13, a thread tensioning device 14, a thread cleaner with thread trimmer 15 and a paraffining device 16.
  • Such winding units 2 furthermore have a winding drum 17, which drives the cross-wound bobbin 11, which is held in a creel 18 during the winding process, via frictional engagement.
  • a pivot plate 20 is arranged, via which a finished cross-wound bobbin 11 can be transferred to the running behind the winding units 2 cross-bobbin transport device 21.
  • the winding units 2 of the automatic winder 1 are powered by an automatically operating cheese change 23. That is, a cheese changer 23 ensures that cross-wound bobbins 11, which have reached a predetermined diameter, are transferred to the cross-bobbin transport device 21 and that subsequently a cross bobbin empty tube 28 is loaded into the bobbin frame 18.
  • the individual handling elements are controlled via stepper motors controllable, which are connected for this purpose via control lines to the control device 38 of the cheese changer 23.
  • the cross-wound bobbin 11 If the cross-wound bobbin 11 has reached its predetermined diameter at a winding station 2 of the textile machine, the cross-wound bobbin is lifted from its drive drum via a winding station's own lifting device (not shown) and runs at a standstill, braked or unrestrained. At the same time on the superstructure of the automatic winder 1 on trajectories 26, 27 movably arranged cheese coil 23 is required. The requirement of the cheese changer can also be preventive, that is, the request signal can already be discontinued before a cheese has reached its final diameter.
  • the cheese changer 23 which, as explained above, handling devices for changing a finished cross-wound bobbin 11 against an empty tube 28, positioned in front of the relevant winding unit 2. Subsequently, the creel 18 is opened by the compassionöffner. The pivotally mounted frame arm is pressed outwards. When opening the bobbin frame 18, the cross-wound bobbin 11 held between the bobbin frame arms is released and reaches the pivoting plate 20 arranged underneath. The pivoting baffle 20 is grasped and lifted by the frame lifter 32. The cross-wound bobbin 11 is thereby rolled onto the cross-bobbin transporting device 21. The creel is thereby brought by the frame lifter 32 and the frame opener 29 in a position in which the tube gripper 31 can easily insert a new empty tube 28 in the creel 18.
  • the thread 30 of a arranged in a Abspul ein 10 of the winding unit 2 Spinnkopses 9 is fixed to the empty tube 28 and initiated the winding process in a conventional manner.
  • a foot reserve is laid first.
  • the pressure lever 33 presses the Spulenrahamen 18 with the sleeve 22 on the thread guide drum 17.
  • the winding unit starts running and after the expiration of the preset Andschreibzeit the pressure lever returns to its original position.
  • the Hall sensor 39 sends a signal to the control device 38 of the cheese changer 23.
  • the control device 38 passes the signal via the machine bus 40 to the central control unit 37, where it is displayed to the operating personnel. Meanwhile, the cheese winder 23 moves to the next winding station and initiates the recording of an empty tube from the sleeve magazine. If necessary, the process is repeated until the tube gripper 31 has detected an empty tube 28 and the cheese changer thus an empty tube 28 is available.
  • the cheese changer 23 is now available for a new cheese / empty tube change.
